Auspicious Marriage OF Mr.. Adolph
Michel and Miss Martha Ewing
Last Night.

Not the least social event Of the sea-
son occurred last night In the marriage
OF Mr.. Adolph Michel to Miss Martha
Ewing, both Of San Antonio. The fact
that both parties are well known In go
clal circles and come from respectable
old German families, who have lived
nearly half century within the limits
OF this city, gave the event extreme
prominence and called out more than q
hundred friends. The wedding occurred
n the residence OF the brides parents
on Market street, and IL was Just .
o'clock when the contracting parties
tripped bravely and smilingly into the
presence Of Rev. Mr.. Chappell, who, ac-
oording to the Methodistio form and the
common rites Of civilization, tied well
the silken knot, In a simple. plain and
unostentatious manner, while bride and
groom answered meekly and their
friends looked on with beaming APP
thick and fast-wsrm, gushing congratu-
lstiona, tOo-which made audible the
language Of their hearts and showed
well the emb0sOmed devotion. The
bride was handsomely attired 10 white
nuns yelling, tastily trimmed with
oriental lace, and the groom exercised
good judgment by appearing In oonven-
tionai broadcloth with smiles. Miss
Annie Steinmitz, as frat bridesmaid.
looked bewitohing 10 an Indian lawn,
with white lace, gloves. etc, while Niles
Sarah Blum, as second brides
maid appeared lovely In cream o0lored
nuns yelling, richly decked with orient
al lace. Messrs. Henry Michel and Henry
Graebner did the honors as first and SEQ
ond groOmsmen, aud did them well.
Ii required three tables In the spacious
dining apartment to bear up the luxur-
iOus viands. prepared by expert Gu
linaries who, besides having knowl-
edge Of that department, seemed to fore
shadow the keen appetites and enor-
nous gastrOn0mic capacities Of the In
vited guests, for there were turkeys,
chickens, hams, cold meats and salads
In endless profusi0n, with such delioa.
cies rs fruits, cakes, ices, wines OF every
variety and other refreshments as gentle
and pleasing reminders Of the stern fact
that such an occasion seldom comes
more than once In the cycles Of one
mans life. After leaving the tables, all
were satisfied, but, like the Queen OF
Sheba, when inspecting the magnih-
cence OF Solomon's palace, the half had
not been seen. In another apartment
were presents Of every description; sill.
verware, engrossed and embossed; glass
ware, cut, carved aud colored, table
linen and housefnrnishings OF the most
costly fabrics, all shiny with newness,
and tangible demonstrations OF esteem.
